The boat slips free of the harbor and Búzios opens like a map: a string of sheltered bays, granite headlands, and beaches flashing white under the sun. On this full-day outing you move between coves and small islands while the sea dares you to look away — dolphins often answer the invitation and gulls track the wake.
